'Claude Bourbon’s music is rooted in multiple traditions – blues, folk, Mediterranean, and for good measure classical. (Can we say Bach!?). Mr. Bourbon’s guitar fingering and arrangements are varied and eloquent. He has the gift of brilliant sequencing. The result is a hypnotic voyage along a river of songs and instrumentals… He uses a vast array of music tools to paint a landscape we have all visited in person or in our dreams' (MP Cooney, FolkWorks). 'A breathtaking acoustic fusion of blues, classical and Spanish guitar from a stunning guitar virtuoso...' (Altadena News). www.claudebourbon.org
